Quesadilla Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brussels Sprouts

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss the halved Brussels sprouts with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Quesadillas

    On half of each flour tortilla, sprinkle a generous amount of cheddar cheese. Add a layer of roasted Brussels sprouts and a spoonful of pico de gallo. Fold the tortilla in half to cover the filling.

  3. 3

    Cook the Quesadillas

    In a skillet over medium heat, add a little olive oil. Place the folded quesadilla in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the tortillas are golden brown and the cheese has melted.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Remove the quesadillas from the skillet, cut them into wedges, and serve with additional pico de gallo on the side. For a complete meal, serve with fries or rice.
